See the orca-list discussion thread starting with http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2006-November/msg00032.html.

The main problem with the Caps_Lock key is not if we can use it as the Orca modifier or not.  We can.  The main problem, however, is that once the user touches the Caps_Lock key, the Lock *modifier* will still be locked and unlocked.  This presents a serious usability problem.
